That’s “Kung Fu” not “Kentucky Fried.” That wouldn’t make any sense.  It’s also not racist, I am just trying to keep with the old school Nintendo theme here.  Benito insisted this guy get posting privileges but I vetoed the profile.  His posts are mine, that’s what understudy means.  Nobody claps for the TA at the end of the semester.

KF has debt, a surprisingly large amount given his singular undergraduate degree from an in-state college.  KF and I went to different high schools but we met through a mutual friend from his neighborhood who went to my high school.  Ask him about his prom date.

I mostly chose KF because I owe him a favor.  He’s a good guy.  I promised I’d pull wing man for him but I had an all night doc review and I bailed.  There’s also something else.

When KF first met Benito he called him out for living at home, even though KF himself did at the time.  He later distinguished his situation because Benito still lives in his old room whereas KF had moved into the basement.  It was illustrative of a different mindset he said, and I would have to agree.

KF’s first words to Alpha Man were “I would never hire you” even though Alpha Man hadn’t asked him for a job.  He later explained that if he had Alpha Man’s complexion his boards would have landed him at a private school on scholarship instead of another faceless drone at state school.  He refused to retract his statement when it turned out Alpha Man’s boards were substantially higher than his…it was the principle of the thing, the world’s first case of reverse-reverse (perhaps sideways) discrimination.  He told Alpha Man he should follow his example buying and selling mortgages to banks.  KF even offered to mentor him.  Alpha Man pointed out that that practice had a major role in sinking the U.S. Economy.  I pointed out that KF hadn’t sold a single one in 18 months.  KF looked at us both like we’d tried to cite a traffic court case in a Supreme Court Brief.

I consider myself the champion of free will and the lone voice against the victimhood mentality that is at the bottom of the slippery slope this blog is built upon.  KF’s financial situation when you consider debt and the current ability to pay it back is worse than any other writer on this blog but you would never guess it by the way he carries himself and by the bright outlook he has for his own future.  That’s why he gets to write in my slot.  KF just might get that 5 series before I do.
